Designed to show off the fabulous colours of Rasta - just one skein - about 2 hours.

(one tester made one in 1 hour: 20 minutes ☻)

  • it has purl sections because I like the woven effect you get when you purl with Rasta

  • it has slipped stitches because I think they help to highlight the shading (they also make it easy to make cables without a cable needle ☻)

  • it has twists because it’s nice to have something to do every few rows so you don’t get bored. ☻

  • it’s tapered towards the top for a nice fit.

the instructions are both written and charted so you can choose which you like best.

ERRATUM - on Row 8 you should have 54 sts (not 56) after the decreases.
